Maybe I can just post here and get a good explanation?

I have been using PopOS for a while now and I am super happy with it, but last time it tried to switch from Gnome to KDE I ended up with a black screen after boot and had to reinstall from scratch.

Does anyone have a good writeup on how to do it properly?

Totally agree with this.

You’ve brought up very good points. As long as consumers support this it will stay the same.

If tipping was stopped all around this would force employers to be responsible for the pay of their employees.

This can only be achieved by holding the employers accountable. Buy from companies that pay fair wages. Don’t buy from those that rely on tips. Vote with your money.

I disagree.

You should not look at the customer to make up extra payment so your wage becomes bearable. This way you are pointing in the wrong direction for a fair pay.

The customer is not the one responsible for you making enough money. Your employer is.

Employers are also the only people gaining anything from tipping. The laws in the US actually allow employers to pay less than minimum wage if the worker receives tips: https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/wages/wagestips Since tipping is not predictable the employer wins by having to pay the worker less. The worker loses.

Also you as the worker are responsible to track and pay taxes on the tips you received, not your employer: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/tip-recordkeeping-and-reporting

I understand it sounds scary when I say “Stop tipping” because it sounds like less money to you, but don’t look at me, the customer, for this. Look at the employer. Stop tipping.

Edit: I agree with your take to stop engaging with companies that rely on tipping to change this, though. I think that was not clear from my comment.

Not the original commenter, but the guy juggling 5 drinks deserves no tip. He deserves a fair pay and the stuff the customer buys should be priced in such a way it enables fair pay.

I am not from the US and delivery drivers here don’t even expect a tip. I order my stuff, pay exactly what the menu said (and maybe a deliver fee, which is fine to me, you then usually have the option to come and pick it up without that fee) and get my food 30 minutes later.

Tipping is an extremely bad practice that makes the pay of people unpredictable and depending on their situation can make a day with bad tipping a problem for them.

Stop tipping.

Non-news.

If it happens, it happens, if it doesn’t, it doesn’t. We gain literally zero information from this article.

What alternative would you suggest if I just want to talk to my mates while gaming? I gave up on setting up TeamSpeak after like an hour and many crashes and errors. I was a TeamSpeak fan for many years when using windows, but on Linux I highly dislike it.

I am so glad the shareholders got their money!

Just imagine some rich people didn’t get more rich, just stayed as rich as they were, so we could “save the planet”. Disgusting!

Of course it costs an astronomical amount of money! It’s a space mission, what else would it cost?

That guy is such an incredibly talented programmer, designer and game creator. I will buy that game just because he is so professional about every single thing he does.

Being rich implies you are evil. If you were good, you would give back to the people who create your wealth.

A good person understands they are not entitled to that much money with so much bad things in the world nor need it in the first place to live a decent live.

As they ruin absolutely anything.

I have my own mailserver just for me and it wasn’t that complicated to be honest. I set it up with Mailcow in Docker in under a day. So far it has been stable with regular backups and updates through Lighthouse.

Maintenance comes down to 5 minutes every three months because somehow Let’s Encrypt and Mailcow don’t like each other and I have to renew the certificate manually.

Yes, 4 tons exactly.

Yes.

Yes, just like I said.

You mean the people running big corporations and not giving a fuck about the environment, right?

There’s tons of email providers out there. I bought a domain and rented a small VM for some learning about servers and the company provides a direct email service with the domain. Now I have unlimited mail-accounts with my own domain name and Google can fuck right off.

They are becoming smarter the further climate change progresses!
